Publishers have no shame in changing titles to try and maximise a book’s chances in a particular market.

I just purchased Secret only to find I had already bought and read Memory…the exact same book with a different title! What gives?

My tears flowed upon reading it.

Really? I don’t think I could cry on reading a book. I’m probably more likely to sit with some solemn reflection. Still, at least you have tears at something substantial, unlike all those who say they cried at tosh like The Kite Runner.

It is a beautifully written, lyrical book about a family and the turbulent nature of world events and the cost to human relationships.

My tears flowed upon reading it.

I highly recommend it.

Ooh, I really like the sound of this. And so the TBR pile lengthens.

Ooh, saw this in Waterstone’s a couple of times recently and didn’t quite make the decision to buy. Bloggers’ synchronicity??

Thanks, Eve. For your words, and for encouraging me to finally make the decision to buy it.

Now this is exactly what I would have written, if I could.

I so agree with you about the lack of brooding in what so easily could have been a tale of bitterness and resentment.

Great book, great review.
